Today is Beverly Cleary's birthday. Cleary is the author of some of my favorite books about some of my favorite people including Beezus and Ramona Quimby. Henry Huggins, and Ralph the mouse. I loved Cleary's books when I was a child and I love them still. Cleary had a way of connecting with children and looking at events from a child's point of view. She sure knew what it was like between young girls who happened to be sisters. Happy 100th Beverly!
